Part of assessing is knowing that the students have acquired the knowledge and skills as designated by the course, 程序, 和机构.  的refore assessment (the collection and evaluation of data and making improvements if needed) must occur at multiple levels:  class, section, 程序, 通识教育, 和机构.  

 

  • Class-level 评估: 评估 on this level occurs in the individual classroom where faculty clearly measure course outcomes and make changes for the students or the next time they teach that course.  
  • Section-level 评估: 评估 at the section-level occurs across multiple sections of a single course.  的 faculty of all of the sections have agreed to use a common assessment tool to collect data of all of the students taking that course.  
  • Program-level 评估: 评估 of 程序s requires a high-level of collaboration of faculty across multiple sections and multiple courses.  教师可以同意使用通用的评估工具, 比如一个小布, or to collect the assessment data in particular courses within the 程序.  
  • 通识教育 (Institutional) 评估: 评估 of the institution happens in a variety of ways and in a variety of college departments.  

 

的 intention of the assessment is to help the staff and faculty answer the question, “我怎么知道所需的学习已经完成??"  It should focus on informing faculty pedagogical processes and student services evaluation.
